  • Publication number: 20240409090
    Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for predicting a future maneuver expected to be executed by a driver. One method involves determining a combined probability for a potential maneuver based on constituent probabilities corresponding to different vehicle state variables, and environmental conditions using one or more tuning parameters specific to the respective combination of maneuver and vehicle state variable, determining an adjusted probability for the potential maneuver based at least in part on the combined probability and one or more contextual state variables corresponding to a current operating context for the vehicle, adapted to driver behavior and driving style, identifying the potential maneuver as an expected maneuver to be executed by a driver of the vehicle based on the adjusted probability, and automatically initiating one or more actions in a manner that is influenced by the expected maneuver.

  • Patent number: 12084075
    Abstract: In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, methods and systems are provided for controlling steering of an autonomous vehicle. The method includes: operating, by a processor, the autonomous vehicle in a semi-automated mode; receiving, by the processor, driver input including a measured driver torque; receiving, by the processor, threat data; determining, by the processor, a steering command bias based on an impedance relation, impedance parameters, the measured driver torque, and the threat data; determining, by the processor, a reference angle based on the steering command bias and a desired angle; and generating, by the processor, control data to control the steering of the autonomous vehicle based on the reference angle.

  • Patent number: 11938200
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods comprising (i) obtaining a baseline chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI image of a patient, (ii) administering an effective amount of a non-nutritive sweetener to the patient, and (iii) obtaining one or more test CEST MRI image of the patient subsequent to the administering step (ii); wherein the step (i) and (iii) acquisition parameters are substantially the same. The non-nutritive sweetener may include a natural or artificial sugar alcohol, polyol, or combinations or derivatives thereof.

  • Patent number: 10901058
    Abstract: CEST imaging technique and MR scanning are used as an MRI method for detecting levels of lactate in vivo by exploiting the exchange of —OH protons on lactate with bulk water. In accordance with this method, one first obtains a lactate CEST MRI map of a slice of the body of a patient. A contrast agent such as pyruvate, glucose or glutamine is administered and a post-administration CEST MRI map is obtained. The difference in the spatial maps indicates the level of expression of lactate in the tissue of interest.
